[Amc-list] completely flooded out

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jayson,
 
Take the distributor cap off and crank over the engine.  Is the rotor turning?  If not, you wore out either the distributor and or cam gear.  If that is fine, check for spark and dwell.  If there is spark, check to make sure you haven't jumped a tooth by bringing #1 cylinder to top dead center and checking to make sure your rotor is in the right position.  Now if all of this is checks out right, check to see if you have a leak in the carb.  You could be dumping too much fuel into the engine.  
 
If you have flooded the engine, check the oil for fuel.  If it is in the oil, change it.
 
Nick,

My 67 Rebel 290 V8 2 barrel.  I've had quite an intersting last few days.  I have had trouble installing my oil adapter with priming the oil gears, not starting correctly, and now I put it all together, ready to see if the oil adapter will work and primed.  I tried to start it, and the car did not fire.  It just cranked over.  Flooded out something fierce.  I let the car sit overnight, took out the spark plugs, and tried to crank it over again, and nothing..not firing.  Seems like there is no spark.  Pulled the plugs, and again it flooded out.  Time to trouble shoot.  Distributor?  Coil?  Points?  Severely flooded out and just won't fire?  I disconnected the choke too.  It ran great before I tried to install this oil adapter.  I feel my project has doom all over it!  Any suggestions?
